Okay. So… (you know it’s going to be good when I start out like this)

My mom is still looking for a job. I’ve been helping out with getting groceries every now and then and the $100 Christmas Gift that my parents didn’t know was from me. However, when I went to the store today I found out that I didn’t have enough money in my card (Avast Antivirus has this asshole thing where they take money out of your account as an automatic renewal and they make it hard for you to know about it). I had already paid for more than half of the whole thing with a gift card and four paper dollars, but there was still like $19 left. I was a little upset, understandably, and the cashier asked me if I wanted to void the transaction.

Before I could answer though, the gentleman behind me said ‘I got it’. I don’t recall having seen this man before in my life; he just looked like your typical Utah Mormon guy. I apologized and of course said he didn’t have to, but he insisted. I apologized and thanked him again.

I haven’t been on the receiving end of that sort of thing and it just confused me and made me feel a little uneasy. But God, I’m so grateful. It was such a little thing that I was able to fix when I got home, but it was worth $19 dollars to this guy to do something nice.

Again, I’m really grateful for him and his generosity. That was so kind of him. I only wish good things for him and, when I’m able, I think I’ll pay it forward and donate some more money to Puerto Rico or something.
